[quote name='Geek99' post='905797' date='Jul 26 2010, 01:38 PM']I have 3 hercules hangers in a stud wall and they work just fine.I did use bigger screws than those supplied though. I also rotated them so the wooden base was paralel to the stud, not perpendicular to it. If you pull the hanger away from its base, its rotateable[/quote] [quote name='Grandad Paul' post='905842' date='Jul 26 2010, 02:24 PM']I think if you get the proper fixings for stud walls you could probably hang a Jumbo Jet on them. Not that you would want to I suppose. The point is though I think that anything is secure if you get the correct fixings. Grandad Paul.[/quote] and have the requisite skill to put it up...........think I'll try the defretted Jazz on there first just in case!!

[quote name='pete.young' post='903324' date='Jul 23 2010, 04:01 PM']I have a Hercules GSP39WB wall stand brand new and unused which is surplus to requirements, and it has 3 holes in the mounting plate - two above and one below. Hope Kev won't mind me linking to the original for sale thread which has a picture [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=91428"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=91428[/url] £10 shipped, which is what I paid for it. Should be fine on stud walling provided you can find the stud.[/quote] I'm going to give Pete's hanger a go, one last chance for Hercules!!!

[quote name='alexharvay' post='903132' date='Jul 23 2010, 01:05 PM']Any reason you want 4 screw fixings or is it just for peace of mind? I've got a Fender one that does the job. It only has 2 screw fixings though but, it's not like I'm swinging from it in the evenings.[/quote] Peace of mind to be honest, and I've got to go into stud walling.

I'm after some wall hangers for my basses. Had a look around, Hercules look ok but only have a 2 screw fitting and really want 4 if poss. Plus had a bad experience with a Hercules stand so will not get them on principal. Any recommendations??

[quote name='Clarky' post='899365' date='Jul 19 2010, 08:28 PM']PM'ed. They are listed at 560 delivered[/quote] Does this mean you don't want the next available GB Shuttle 6 anymore....?

Sold a couple of my Trace Cabs to this fine chap. Extremely easy to deal with and a really good guy to boot. I have no hesitation in recommending DaTallOne for buying from or selling to. Cheers F61

I spoke with a Chartered Tax Accountant (through my work) last year about this very subject, who stated that earnings from a hobby are not taxable. However if the Tax man can prove that it is more than that then it is taxable. From that, and it was verified but a second source, I deducted that weekend warriors (those who play for beer money and gear) are safe. For functions band charging several £k's per gig, I think it could be construed as more than a hobby therefore would declare away. Btw O'Neills pubs ask for NI numbers on invoices. What do we feel about this from a data protection basis??

[quote name='Bassassin' post='898690' date='Jul 19 2010, 10:24 AM']That looks like a 60s type scratchplate - as well as having the 1/2" gap, it goes right up to the bridge pup surround. Jon.[/quote] Here's mine, doesn't get played as much as it should though!!!

[quote name='tony_m' post='897050' date='Jul 17 2010, 01:39 AM']Jamie, Obviously I don't know you from Adam (nor you me), but I'd say take a deep breath, count to at least 10, and think carefully before you decide what to do. I've just hit 50, and only picked up my first bass about 15 years ago. After a couple of years, circumstances conspired to make me take a break, but I didn't get rid of my gear, and then got stuck in again about 2 years ago. Even though I'm not particularly good, I get so much pleasure from picking up a bass and playing something, and wish I'd taken it up far earlier in life and devoted more time and effort to it. From what you say, you've done what I now wish I'd done, and I'd hate you to throw that away. While dreams and aspirations don't pay the bills, all roads eventually reach a corner - just make sure you're ready for it and are certain which way you want to go when it comes along.[/quote] +1 from a 48yo who gave up for 25 years.

Well bollocks to the lot of you, I love both of mine !!

Welcome neighbour. Just go careful in the "For Sale" forums, it can become addictive
